 Federico Caffè: tra il tempo dell'utopia e lo spazio del riformismo (Federico Caffè between the time of utopia and the space of reformism)Giuseppe Amari
Il Pensiero Economico Italiano, 2015, vol. 23, issue 2, 135-151 Abstract: Standing alone among those who believed it harmful to correct a system that would be rapidly overtaken, and among those who instead believed it useless because the system was capable of finding its best equilibriums on its own, Caffè had the courage to propose concrete solutions to the most urgent problems, starting with full and high-quality employment. However, together with his friend Bruno De Finetti, he believed a utopian vision was necessary in order to give free way to his reformism. He considered economic policy as being an intermediary and a bridge between pure economics and applied economics, in a unitary conception of the economic discipline. Caffè identified himself in the ideal program of the Constitution that attempted to substantiate as civil servant, teacher and ‘adviser to the citizen’ Keywords: politica economica; utopia; riformismo; piena e buona occupazione; costituzione; sviluppo civile; Federico Caffè; Bruno De Finetti; J.
